Structural Evolution: The Effect of Organization Size on Complexity Across Time.
Abstract
Empirical studies of formal dimensions of organization structure have sought to discover patterns of association between factors that lead to increases in organization complexity. Sixty-eight years in the evolution of a formal organization were studied to determine the effects of organizational size on organizational complexity across time. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic was used to test whether an expected rank-frequency distribution of roles could predict observed rank-frequency distributions. (Modified author abstract)
